Doug:

Great image. I wish I could maintain your consistent focus quality.

More Ardeidae: the local fish hatchery has a very cooperative Great Blue Heron but I've been struggling with lighting and backgrounds. I'm trying to illustrate the heron's motionless hunting posture, so I used a tripod , the camera's base ISO and stopped down enough to use a 1/2 second shutter speed:

R8/DMR, 280mm f/4 APO, wading boots.

I wonder how this would have looked with a polarizing filter so that you had no reflection off the water and consequently a darker background. I do appreciate the smoke-like affect of the long exposure on the water. It is a great image.

A polarizing filter for the 280 APO is on my wish list.

A few days ago at my back yard bird feeder:

R8/DMR, 280mm f/4 APO, tripod, blind. No crop.

Doug's herons might like these guys:

Doug:

Which Polarizer does it use? I might have one here that fits it. I think I have the Series 5.5 and Series 6 in the special drawers that I bought when I happened to see them for sale. I have not used either since I got them.

Just checked the camera cabinet, I have 13338 (ser 5.5) and 13340 (ser 6).

Wow, thats really an impressive image. I wouldent believe they stand that still.

ANd the color and tonality just great.
It is really a shame they didnt continue the DMR/R.

Sadie, always shakes off the water after coming back to me

An Eagle on the lake we live on seems to have caught what looks like a duck for lunch. While not up to Doug's standards, I figured I would post it. The last time we saw an eagle on the ice, I barely made it out my back door before he flew off. In this case I made it to the edge of the lake and shot with the 400mm and a 2x APO extender. Cropped in about 50% as well. It is raining a bit too, which kills the contrast at such distances.

yesterday in lower Manhattan, the New Museum on Bowery and Prince.
The pattern / texture of the building facade played havoc with my dmr sensor,
shot with the 135mm elmarit.

Spring finally came in town (northern New Jersey);

I take the R9-DMR most of the time as walk-around camera when there are reasonable light levels and I want accurate framing and colors.

The last image shows the contrast between the way we build houses today and what was built 100 years ago...

I am having a show May 8th - June 3rd at the Harrison, NY library.
"The Presence of Water"
Color and Black & White 17x22 epson fiber prints mostly from the DMR
with water as the unifying theme.
If you are in the area there will be a reception May 14 2pm - 4pm.

Paul, Good luck with the show! I'll be out of town until near the end of May but I would like to get by before it closes.

 

[paulmoore]

for most that are not in the area here is a link to an online gallery of the show
The Presence of Water
not nearly as nice as viewing the epson exhibition fiber prints.. but you get the idea.
